I installed Amp Research Power Steps on my GMT900 recently and will never own another truck without them.

Mine are perfectly fine, you sure you had them on the correct side because if not they are way to far forward.

Yes, I had two people involved from their corporate office, emailing pics back and forth and two videos..... When I put my foot on the step it's way forward and puts me into the dash as I made the step....

They could have sent a wrong set or something. I haven't had anybody complain about the hoops being too far forward or anything. That's anybody from friends and family including my grandmother. I don't need it but when I tried it, it seems fine for me. Maybe you have long legs? The hoops seems to be lined up for the floorboards in front of the deats. Did they look like the ones in the pic of my truck?

Do these mount to frame or rocker? And what is the difference? I've been told to get frame mounted running boards by a few people

 

My Raptor stainless mounted to the body bolts with additional intermediate supports in the middle attached to the rocker panel with "U" bolts.

My nfabs on my rubicon were the same way. The steps were way forward and other than looks, pretty useless. That's kept me from purchasing for my silverado.

Anyone have AMP Research steps with the lights not work? Both my rear lights were not working and finally go around to checking it out. The rear lights are just dead. I can't remember if they were working when I installed them. It took me a while to even notice them not working since I don't get into the back and the fronts do light the back up enough to work really. I'll be calling them tomorrow since I emailed them about the issue a month ago asking if they had issues of any kind, but they never even replied.

When you got the steps, do you remember if there was a (I think it was) blue sticker on the bag with the LEDs? AMP had a bad batch of LEDs that we're going out prematurely and so they corrected it and put stickers on the bags of LEDs that they produced after the change to signify that you got a good set of LEDs. Call them or enail them one more time and they should send you a new set for free. Or you could add a strip of LEDs that spans the entire length of the step. I did that and am much happier with this route than using the lights from AMP. I still have my AMP lights though but they are in my toolbox in the bed of my truck.

comparing where the steps are on yours and where they are on my stock boards, i really thing they are too far forward, which sucks because i dont like the look of mine, and dont want power steps..

 

they totally got it wrong, heeds to be 4-6" further back

I was thinking about upgrading them as they are only two little LEDs in each light, but right now I'm doing all sorts of other things and just want to fix what I have. I will likely upgrade them later. I got one of the early sets when they are having trouble keep up with demand and I don't think they had blue on the bags. I'll just call them this time since they didn't respond to my previous email asking if exactly if they had any issues, which apparently they did. So, not responding to me has annoyed me more now. Thanks for the info.

No problem. If you want I could even send you mine. You will need new 3M tape on the back (I could cut you some and put it on there as I have plenty). Just pay for shipping and they are yours

I'm sure I could get them shipped for pretty cheap. If it's cheap enough I'll even just eat the cost and not worry about it.

Just got Christmas gifts (cash) to buy the AMP Power Steps. Anyone seen any good deals online or coupons that knocked the price down pretty good?

Quality bumper has a 20% off all order coupon and no tax if you're not in AZ. Got mine from them with 15% off awhile ago. Great customer service. Give them a look.

      upgrading speakers on 2026 std cab WT...

      By bwiese · Posted

      I don't wanna do major surgery/upgrades, behind-the-dash work, add amps, change radio etc. on my '26 std cab WT. On the WT, it has the base 7" IOR infotainment setup, and only two speakers (doors). Since I listen to classical, looked around for speakers that do well and dug thru reviews. Two-way speakers were found to be better than 3-way. So I've ordered a pair of  Infinity Reference REF-9632IX 2 way speakers.  [These may  or may not have been discontinued / succeeded by the 3-way ...9633 ones.]    These speakers are lauded for 3 ohm and 94db sensitivity spec so they'll work well for ordinary base car radios without amps and offer better performance (quality,  strength) than  default base paper-cone speakers. They'll be installed in a few days and I'll let y'all know what I think. Bill W San Jose

      Thanks!   Changed out the rear shocks today to Bilstein 5100s.  So far feel much better. The stock Rancho were wore out.  Lots of heavy hauling (2 moves, home renovations, etc).  Next up is new BFG tires Monday.  Cant wait the current tires have little to no wet traction and are super loud (hum)

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      How about I just point to the factory pans stand pipe little drain plug and claim its a pan with a real drain plug !. I just couldn't swallow the fact that a Dorman pan which at this point is probably the only pan out there that fits the gas version truck cost that much up here in Canada so I decided initially anyway to skip it and see what I thought of pulling the pan method and down the road if I felt inclined enough then I would either install a drain plug kit in the factory pan if there is enough room for it, or have a bung welded onto it, or put an aftermarket pan on. The thing is if the pan is not pulled then the magnets in the pan can't be inspected and cleaned or if wanting to change out the filter. However of course it certainly would make the job easier to be able to drop the oil first before having to handle the pan if dropping the pan that go around was the goal.    I knew a guy locally that was doing custom field spraying years ago with a pickup pulling a ground driven sprayer, I believe it was a GM pickup with an automatic trans. He had a drain plug in his pan and would drop the oil out of it once a week and top it back up through the dipstick tube to keep refreshing a portion of the oil often and that made the transmission last far longer than had he done nothing. Soft fields pulling 500 gallons of water at the start of each mixed up sprayer tank batch and in low range sucking along. I imagine he got some tips from other custom sprayer outfits doing the same thing at the time and learning from their blown up tranny mistakes. Transmissions then had no lock up converter so would cook the crap out of the fluid slipping that much and it would not have been synthetic fluid either.
